MARATHON runner Adam Holland has finished ten marathons in ten days – and helped to raise more than £92,000 to help vulnerable young people.

Adam, from Tavistock, was one of 14 athletes taking part in the series, which raised money for the Lake District-based Brathay Trust, which works with vulnerable young people.

His final run on Sunday, in a time of two hours 54 minutes (2:54:02), was also the fastest of any of the 140 marathons. The marathon course, crowned the UK's most scenic by Runner's World magazine last year, circumnavigates England's longest lake, Windermere.

This is the eighth year of the event and the third time Adam has run in it.

His next running event is the Seven Marathons in Seven Days from May 26 to June 1.
